This constant bickering is disastrous. Too many people are saying too much and too many people are saying too little. This Message Board means a lot to me and I'm damned if I'm going to let it be hijacked. I need it. I want it.
Marc, if this is not a place where people can share their joys and pains, hopes and fears, to be a surrogate family or group of friends - then what can be its purpose? Even if there is more than just a pinch of truth in them, your words were rude and insulting, and we all deserve an apology from you. I don't disagree with what you wanted to say, but I vehemently protest the unthinking way you chose to say it. Words can hurt, and your words did hurt. Correction is better offered gently and with love.
Lenny, Kevin, I can't take much more of this. Stop threatening to leave my family every time a brother says something he shouldn't have said (or doesn't say something he should have said). This is a virtual family: Lenny, I can't help you if you are not here. Kevin, I can't love you if you are not here.
I suspect that what I have written here reflects the feelings of the majority of people on this Message Board (including the silent lurkers, for whom it exists just as much as for the verbose, the pompous, the scared, the insulting, the insulted, the cute, the lovable...)
If it does reflect that majority view I hope that
NO ONE will respond to this message. Let's just assume that Marc has apologised, let's just assume that Lenny and Kevin are still with us. Let's just assume that I have said nothing - and let's get back on track. (If you must react to my words please do so
offline.)
We are a step away from disaster. Now is the time for EVERBODY to pull back from the edge. Silence is golden. Do not destroy this Message Board. Please. I beg of you.
Someone, please, start another thread and let's put all this behind us.

I have not threatened to leave, i have mad a promise to timmy. I will not run away. But I may be silent for a while, maybe a long while.
My family here has hurt my feelings. I have poured my heart out, wich leaves me quite vulnerable. To be shunned or ignored in topics that are so important to me hurts, alot.
There is one or more that wont even reply to my e-mails at all, not sure why? My heart is heavy with the fact that feel abandened by both my families.
I will not run away though. I will not leave just becasue I am hurt, promise. Those of you that are apathetic to someone like me (or just to me personally), their is nothing I can do.
I am about two months from being homeless, but when that was posted, it went a week without one reply. That really sucked. I will get past it though. I am not made of glass.
Please just give me time, I know I do have some real friends here. The rest, you are still my family, I care ... even if you don't.
Still love my family, way to much to leave.
(That means you to Stevey)

This message board is for people needing to talk.... Just as all the other message boards are....
This IS a place where people can share their joys and pains, hopes and fears.... Of course....
And as for being unthinking.... Trust me, I never post without carefully choosing my words..... I said exactly what I wanted to say.....
As you said above, "I don't disagree with what you wanted to say" so be it....
and yes words can hurt... but only when hurt was intended...
Marc
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

I care and others do also Kevin. Sometimes we see things different and what we think ppl should CLEARLY understand, they dont. It doesnt mean they dont care just that they may NOT see what YOU want them to cause they think and react different.
I didnt see the post you made and I would, (if I could,)have done something to assist you. I spose I am trying to say Kevin, dont judge us too harshly cause we dont do like ya think we should. I care about you but I dont know fully all the time how to help. I dont have a lot of answers cause I havent lived long enough yet. For what it is worth Kevin, Hugs from OZ.

I was more than a bit surprised, and quite pleased to see your post. Thank you.
I will get past it, just a bit down for a short time. All things work themselves out with time.

P.S. Did you get my mail?
